12/10/2020, 5:50 AMHow can I avoid font override by system? For example: if a user set a custom font through settings, I don’t want my app to use that custom font but instead use sans-serif. I tried adding fontFamily to styles.xml but it didn’t help.

12/10/2020, 5:58 AM@Shankar thanks for the answer. The app is quite big now with lots of screen. Is there any easier way of doing this?
